Villa Mahal's Turkish delight

Sand isn't on the menu at the Villa Mahal hotel, only
levelled-off terraces that jut out from this pristine bay on
Turkey's southwest coast. But who cares when you're dozing in a
double hammock under the shade of a giant grass skirt-style
shelter, and the only things between you and the brilliant- blue
Mediterranean are some olive trees and a gentle breeze? Trust us:
your only dilemma here will be whether to laze around reading the
new Alan Hollinghurst or pad down the terraced pathway and plunge
into the crystal-clear sea.
